What happened
Landlord applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent. The application was based on an N4 notice served on March 3, 2021, with a termination date of May 31, 2021. However, the N4 notice was found to be defective as it did not properly identify the rental unit by including the unit number.
The ruling
The Landlord's application for termination of tenancy and eviction was dismissed due to a defective N4 notice that failed to properly identify the rental unit by not including the unit number. The Board determined it lacked jurisdiction to terminate the tenancy based on this defective notice. The Landlord subsequently withdrew their claim for rent arrears.
